7 Singers You Didn’t Know Jay Chou Had Written Songs For

The songs are all earworms, of course.

There’s no denying it – Jay Chou is one of the most talented artists on the Asian entertainment scene. The singer can not only croon a tune, but also deliver spitfire rap verses and write songs. Now, that’s what a versatile musician truly looks like.

And given his immense talent, it’s not surprising then that the 38-year-old, who is celebrating his birthday today, has also written songs for his fellow singers. While you might be familiar with his works for his former mentor Jacky Wu, you might not have known that he also wrote songs for these singers.

Rui En

Before Rui En became massively popular as an actress, she was a singer who debuted in Taiwan under the same label as Jay Chou. The title track of her first album “Bai Se Yu Mao”, was composed by Jay.

Super Junior-M

Yes, Jay actually composed a song for a K-pop band, Super Junior-M, a sub-unit of Super Junior that sings in Mandarin. Jay wrote “Love Is Sweet” for the group’s Perfection EP.

Jolin Tsai
